Vetus Latium profanum: De Tiburtibus seu Tiburtinis
Vetus Latium profanum, an 1745 antiquarian work by Giuseppe Rocco Volpi on the ancient Tiburtine region near Rome, likely prepared for scholars and collectors of Roman antiquities. Its engraved plates, printed sideways on the page, show ruins, villas and arched structures in a detailed topographical manner that suggests sketched architectural study for reconstruction drawings and classical set design.
